My husband, Graham Findlay, who has died aged 68 of cancer, was a disability rights activist and housing policy expert. He most recently worked as co-production lead at the charity Scope, responsible for encouraging greater participation by disabled people in the design and construction of housing, workplaces and consumer products.
The idea of inclusive design was one of Graham’s main preoccupations, and he was a champion of disabled people becoming the “architects of their own lives”. Over the years he promoted that goal in roles at Disability Wales and the Chartered Institute of Housing, as well as with his own consultancy.
